Is Your Milk Pure? Simple Home Tests Reveal Water Adulteration

  • Milk adulteration with water is a growing concern, risking public health and increasing seller profits.
  • Adarsh Chaturvedi of Local18 highlights various methods, from a Rs 27,000-30,000 fatometer to simple home tests.
  • Pure buffalo milk has 6-8.5% fat and 7% SNF; low CLR or less than 200g 'khoa' per litre indicates dilution.
